Creation

No matter how many times
I look at a moment
Or a thing
I find something new

No matter how many times
I look into myself
Listen to my spirit
I find someone new

I remind myself
These are all
Acts of creation
Rather than discovery

I seek the path to awareness
Reminding myself
The way through
Entanglement and attachment
Is not easily cleared

I carry compassion
A torch to light my way
Through the darkness of unseeing
I wield mindfulness
A blade to cut my way
Through the brambles of being

I marvel
At all the many worlds I see
From just one place
In time and space

Moments within moments
Scenes within scenes
Lives in the midst of living

If only I take
The time to look

I turn the brightness up
Raise myself out of the depths
The mire
The hardship
Out of the confusion
And disorientation
If only for a moment

Breathe

Like coming up for air
In the tumult
Of crashing surf
Before the wave
Takes me under

Sometimes, I like to look back
At where I’ve been
At how I got here

There’s often a line
A flow
A grace unintended
Unnoticed
Unseen before the backward glance

Sometimes
In reflection
A stunning clarity

I try to remember
The slightest disturbance

Some places
Some moments
Are an invitation

To admire the beauty of existence
To see the connection of all things
To look within, to my deepest self
